I want to start this question off by saying no iHating, or BB hating or Android hating; I am looking for constrcutive answers and not a bashing of the other players out there.

I went from BBs to Androids to iphone and now back to Android.

I have had my share of phones and recently switched from iPhone for the openness of Android.

We are supposed to get more features, better apps, less restrictions, etc...

In the last month and a half, I have tried countless times to Google what I was looking for and to find solutions to the following issues without luck:

And as a starter note, I cannot use Gmail email app (some of my issues are with email app) because I have 2 exchange accounts and one of them does not allow forwarding messages so that app is not an option. Also, K9 is not an option b/c they are exchange 2010 servers. And for some reason Maildroid will not work with one of my accounts, exact same settings from stock email app will not work in mail droid, but that can be for another thread.

So anyways, here are the issues

1) On stock TW roms:

- no spell check.

I not referring to auto-correct which is fine on all roms, I mean the actual spell checking with red underline that is available in stock android and in CM/AOKP (which is assume are stock android).

- No hardware key remapping

2 - On CM/AOKP

Well i can now get the features above that I am missing, but the email app does not allow to:

- zoom out,

- no auto-fitting of messages in portrait mode, they are automatically formatted to landscape mode which is a HUGE pain and very inefficient.

- I can't sort messages to see what I have that is unread; I am forced to scroll the entire list trying to find my unread messages.

- I can't filter in anyway the messages, just search which is extremely slow.

- I can't get notifications of messages that appear into folders for which I have rules, forcing me to go in and manually search these folders.

3 - Finally, in both cases, the following is missing:

- A lockinfo like notification center that allows me to see any and all items that are outstanding :

- all unread messages from all email folders,

- all upcoming calendar appointments,

- all app notifications

All the above should be in one consolidated place and allow you to see each item individually, meaning each and every email listed separately for example, so that I can prioritize which one will get answered first.

for this point I would like to stat that I have tried the following alternatives and have found that they are all flawed:

- Executive assistant (with enhanced email)

- locker pro

- widget locker.

The missing features above were included in stock BB back in 2010 when I first switched to Android; and had been available since I had been available for a while.

They were also included in Iphone when I switched in 2011.

And I have found threads (very old ones) within the Android community asking about these.

I am not looking to bash the GS3, it's a great phone, but a nice screen and a fast processor will only get you so far if the necessary features are not there. The devices are supposed to help us manage all the different tasks of life, and I am finding that this phone (or maybe I should say the android system in general) has now made the task quite difficult.

Again not looking for this to become a bashing contest on the Android competitors, I am just looking for some guidance on getting these features on my phone.
